Our story

Built for the
Security Industry

Praesova is the career platform for SIA-licensed professionals — one place to own your verified profile, keep your training current, and find work. Your career, your data.

Our mission

Put operators in
control of their careers

The UK private security industry employs over 350,000 SIA-licensed professionals — yet an operator's professional life is scattered across agency files, paper certificates and someone else's talent pool. When the relationship ends, the operator walks away with nothing.

Praesova was built to change that. Every operator gets a Career Passport they own and take anywhere — a verified SIA licence, tracked qualifications, work history and references, all in one place.

It's the operator's single link to both work and training: licences are verified against the SIA register, expiry dates are tracked automatically, and a neutral training marketplace keeps every qualification current. Your career, your data.

How we got here

The story behind
Praesova

Our founders spent years working inside the UK security industry — one as a licensed Door Supervisor, one running security operations for a national events company. They saw the same problem from both sides.

Operators rebuilt their CV from scratch for every agency, chased their own licence and First Aid renewals on paper, and lost their reputation the moment a contract ended. The career belonged to everyone except the person who'd earned it.

In 2024, they started building Praesova — a Career Passport operators own and take anywhere, with licences verified against the SIA register, qualifications and expiry dates tracked automatically, and a neutral training marketplace alongside the work.

What we stand for

Our values

Everything we build is guided by these principles.

Your career, your data
Your Career Passport belongs to you, not to us or an agency. Take your verified licence, qualifications, work history and references anywhere — and delete them whenever you choose.
Fair pay for professionals
Professionals set their own rates and keep 100% of what they earn — we never take commission on your work. The people doing the job decide what it's worth, not an agency.
Verified, not just claimed
SIA licences are checked against the live SIA register, and we track every qualification's expiry date — warning operators before anything lapses. Clients see credentials they can trust.
GDPR by design
We handle personal data — including sensitive licence information — with full GDPR compliance built in from day one. Professionals can request deletion of all their data at any time.
Neutral on training
We don't own a training company, so we don't push our own courses. Every provider competes on equal terms and operators compare them side by side — the right course to renew a licence, not the one we're paid to sell.
Industry-built
Praesova was built by people who've worked in the security industry, not just tech entrepreneurs. We understand the regulations, the shift patterns, and the trust that clients need.
